Forget the 10 Oktoberfest beers. I’ve just seen a Lidl cookware video by famous chef Andre Agassi holding a frying pan like a racquet.

So, my daughter’s game tomorrow has been cancelled because the opposition couldn’t field sufficient players. We played with 10 or 9 players last season. Fuck ‘em. Especially as they fielded a player last minute who now plays for Man Utd.
